[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7609877, member: 2119"] Yes the spray shouldn’t be getting onto anything but the crop for which it was intended. That’s the theory and should be the practice. We should wait until the wind is blowing away from neighbouring land. We should use low drift nozzles or lower pressure and /or keep the forward speed down to avoid higher pressure and drifty spray. It’s also the case that spray droplets might not the getting onto the neighbours land by the fumes or vapours might be going that way. The vapour is much more difficult for the operator to control as it can arise through evaporation for a while after the spraying operation is complete and drift or even diffuse over a considerable area. Personally I find a lot of these new fungicides really do stink. I have to spray them in the field round my own house and garden and although none of the spray actually drifts into my own garden I can smell the stuff when I go to bed. Hasn’t lolled me yet but I don’t particularly like it. Price of getting a crop to harvest. Difficult one, but the sprayer operator should be using the utmost care and consideration. Doing what he can. [/QUOTE]
